“We believe if we have offered a clarity of vision then those we team with can be able to run free to do what they do best. We strive to establish a working atmosphere in which we are constantly surprised by our collaborators and by ourselves. This is how great films are made and our joy transcends the process to bring joy to the audience. And that – to bring our audience joy – is why we do what we do and face the challenges we face. We couldn’t be more excited about bring Medal of Victory to our audience.” – Will Blomker
